Clutch Plate Maintenance and Replacement Suggestions
Check the clutch pedal free travel (usually 20-25mm) to ensure normal clamping force.
Check the thickness of the friction plates. If they are worn to the rivet heads or the surface is hardened, they need to be replaced in time.

Common faults and causes of clutch plates
Clutch Slippage
Phenomenon: Insufficient power during start-up or heavy load, weak acceleration, and in severe cases, smoke and a burning smell from the friction plates.
Structure and function of clutch plates
Clutch plates typically consist of friction material, a steel plate substrate, and rivets. The friction material (such as asbestos-based, semi-metallic, or ceramic fiber) provides friction, the steel plate substrate ensures strength, and the rivets secure the friction material.

The clutch disc is a key component in the automotive transmission system
The clutch disc is a key component in the automotive transmission system, located between the engine and the transmission, which transmits and cuts off power through friction.
